Cultural Grants
Administered through the Oakville Arts Council
Each year since 1989, the Town of Oakville has provided operating and project grants to qualified not-for-profit cultural organizations. The Oakville Arts Council, on behalf of the Town of Oakville administers this process at-arms length, with the applications reviewed by the Cultural Grants Review Committee commissioned by and responsible to the Board of Directors of the Oakville Arts Council. Over the past 33 years, 64 different cultural organizations in Oakville have benefited from support of approximately $2.3 million.
Information for applicants:

1. Organizations that received funding in 2022 must complete a Final Report (due September 16, 2022) prior to applying for 2023 funding.
